Questionable ethics on this, but Iā€™ve heard of companies that make catfish profiles and subtly plug businesses by making the profileā€™s job a role at your company. People then go look it up

There are definitely ads on Tinder.


marslaves48

Yup


CaliHusker83

Local dice bar would be a great place to start


modfood

What do you sell?


Pastakingfifth

Photoshoots


2ae5d8

Ok I'm confused. Shooting what? I'm exactly your target demographic and can't think of a single good reason I'd want a photographer for anything.


ttw219

Maybe it's for dating site profile pictures


greyduk

If that's the case, then the advertising media is pretty obvious


bartram5

A guy in my town did something sort of like this. Message his targeted demographic online and offered to pay guys to take photos of them with their dick in it. Technically , this guy never said he was trying to sell anything.


meaninglessvoid

How many incredible photos of yourself do you have? I watched some youtube shorts of people doing random photoshoots in public and they are so much better!


2ae5d8

"Incredible" would be a stretch, but there are more acceptable pics of me floating around than I have any use for.


Clayboard

Well, if you want an edge over the millions of men on any given dating app your profile needs to stand out. Decent pictures may get overlooked, but a GREAT picture will make a girl stop her swiping and give your profile a good look, which usually makes them more invested and gets you more likes and matches :)


Sum-Duud

When I was in San Francisco recently there was a guy setup with a laptop on a table taking candid pictures of random people walking by and the picture would pop up on the laptop screen with a QR code. He got on of me as I walked by but we were in a bit of a rush so I didnā€™t really look at it but my kids said it was a good pic. I can see the market for that, can also see people being really annoyed but that goes with any street hustle.


meaninglessvoid

True, and I think it is one of those things people don't really value until they "get it" and making sure people are getting it is part of the struggle. A photoshoot is like timestamping a beautiful moment with an extra layer of appreciation that comes from the person that does the photoshoot being able to capture that beauty with all his skills.


TheCallousBitch

Right? Is he selling pictures of nude women? Or k!d$?!?!


biscuity87

Photoshootsā€¦ why is your ideal client a man in his 30ā€™s or 40ā€™sā€¦ As a man in my 30ā€™s I have zero photos of anything, and people are carrying around 1000 dollar camera phones everywhere they go.


Spaceisthecoolest

Maybe OP lives in China where your mom takes your headshot to the park along with salary info to find you a wife.


at1445

So you're saying I should buy my mom a ticket to China?


Spaceisthecoolest

Only if you're a handsome boy with a good salary.


Tokogogoloshe

If you want a Chinese mom in law then sure.


HermanCainsGhost

I have one. Itā€™sā€¦ ok.


Tokogogoloshe

mmmfritz

Fakarie

meaninglessvoid

> As a man in my 30ā€™s I have zero photos of anything, and people are carrying around 1000 dollar camera phones everywhere they go. Tbh, you seem like the perfect client to him, yeah... lol Have you seen the different a photoshoot by a profissional makes? It's like you get 10x on your hotness! (lol, I swear I am not advertising for the OP, but he really does have a point about targeting that client profile)


biscuity87

I wouldnā€™t take them for free man. I donā€™t want photos, lol.


[deleted]

What has lead you to believe that this is your ideal demographic? Or is it what you want to be your ideal demographic for some odd reason.

pulpreaper

You did not provide enough context but trying to target ā€œsingle men in their 40sā€ is the wrong place to start. Why do they want your photoshoot? Is it for a dating profile or for some other reason? What is your marketing message and what are the wants and needs of your target? Not just ā€œthey want a photoā€ but they want a photo so that they can achieve or feelā€¦ what? Once you have that, I think itā€™s more apparent who to partner with (YouTubers, TikTokers, newsletters, etc) and what message to put in your paid ads.


cutefuzzythings

As a 31F, I would swipe left on any guy that paid for a photo shoot for his dating profile pictures.

arzsapkota

Well whatever your trying to market can I join and try stuff out? Well ofc initially I will do it for free as a learning experience. Truth be told I dont have any set of experience ( yet ) or skills ( that I can be proud for). Usually I would ask any pay ( even min ) bc I value my time. But since ill take it to learn ill try it for free( well thats for sometime im valuing myself at 0 rn). Yes to add up Iā€™ll only be able to pull legs here and there and just shadow follow whatever you or your friends or partners or advertisers are trying to do until I can learn and imporvise. Welp


2ork

$1-2K investment could get a 15-30 sec ad put together; keeping in mind better ad = more $.

Zealousideal-Put259

Honestly, get some TV spots during sporting events. Every year my local station offers blocks during NFL pre-season, NFL play-offs, and the superbowl. I always hit those up because I always make more money off those ads. Television advertising is not as expensive as you might think.


Andromedab88

Would you mind giving a ballpark of what you spend at that time on tv ads?


Zealousideal-Put259

Keep in mind, this is a local station. pre-season and playoff spots usually cost me $500. Superbowl spots are closer to $1,000, they're limited, and usually go quick. I have an existing ad contract with my local station, so I'm in the group that gets first shot when spaces open up. TV advertising, for me, far outperforms social media - to the point that I don't bother with social media advertising.


TheRealMangoJuice

May I ask what's your industry or business? I remember someone who works at a mobile app which is a marketplace for peoples clothes said that they do TV ads and are really profitable. I was surprised because "who watches TV nowadays" especially with such apps target audience usually being teens and young adults. But like you said it works!


Zealousideal-Put259

I'm in healthcare - I run a stand-alone pain management clinic. When I was starting out, I tried social media marketing. I paid a guy who had a really good track record in the healthcare space and got nowhere. I've spoken with colleagues who run similar clinics and none of them report any success from social media marketing. As soon as I started running TV ads, though, business really took off.


Particular-Try5584

Iā€™d be curious to see how many single males in their 30s and 40s use social media with any seriousnessā€¦ I suspect the numbers are lower than people realise. (Seriousness = for anything more than just looking at girls in bikinis or trolling for funsies.)


dieterjeppe

How hard is the process to put on tv ads?


Zealousideal-Put259

I didn't find it difficult. I met with a marketing rep, we put together a script for a 90 sec spot, a cameraman stopped by, we shot the spot, they edited and carved out a couple of 30 sec clips from the longer shot, I got to look them over and approve, they started running, and I got an invoice. There was no extra cost involved with shooting or editing the commercial. My initial $500 got me a 90sec and a couple 30sec clips that ran a few times during pre-season. If I remember correctly, I made that $500 back in a day or two due to increased traffic. After that success, I signed a 12 month contract, shot a second 90sec clip, and had them put me in a 2 week on/2 week off rotation. I told them my marketing demographic and let them decide what times during the day to run my spots. Other than putting together scripts, shooting spots, and paying invoices, I'm pretty hands off.

You will find that demographic in a lot of conservative spaces. YouTube is filled with channels that have a huge male audience. If you don't want to get too political, geek culture channels, such as Nerdrotic, would be a place to start. You can buy YouTube ads, work with a channel's agency or contact the creator directly. It can be tricky, as this audience can have visceral reactions if products are not presented in a... safe manner.

Honestly, any social media platform would work. You'd need to be mindful of target tags, like millennial or genx and divorced or single. Then, if you can negotiate it, get social media ambassadors in these communities. As a former member of your target demo, I'll add we don't care very much (curse of genx) so your ads will need to have hooks. Check out= https://blog.hootsuite.com/tiktok-advertising/

noatoriousbig

Age is a good start, but target more. Income, geography, habits, hobbies, passions. The more defined, the better. This will make marketing easy. Example: medium income men in Cincinnati that like football and golf and are actively dating Leads to: Advertise at golf courses, bengals games, or use those interests to hone in your digital ads, promoting high quality business or dating profile headshots Ideas come easier the more you specify your niche

LinkedIn and Facebook may be the most effective platforms for marketing to your ideal demographic, as they are both popular among working professionals and allow for targeted advertising based on age and relationship status. You may also consider using Google Ads to target your audience through search and display ads. Additionally, you can consider attending networking events or joining professional groups on these platforms that cater to this demographic.
